a slightly different metaphor. Copilot suggests it is next to you, helping you pilot... something else. The computer? The system? But "piloting the LLM" changes the relationship. The LLM is the thing that is being piloted.

I think their metaphor is apt. Microsoft Copilot is, in modern terms, the "harness" that "co-pilots" the LLM it manages sessions for, with you as the "pilot". So you are still piloting the LLM.

At least that's how it reads to me.
